俄罗斯发生天然气爆炸事故 一人死亡、多人受伤
One person has been found killed and four others rescued with injuries after a natural gas explosion partially collapsed an apartment building in the Russian city of Yaroslavl early Tuesday, authorities said.
周二早些时候，俄罗斯城市雅罗斯拉夫尔的一座公寓大楼因天然气爆炸造成部分坍塌，一人死亡、四人受伤被获救。
The remaining 34 people out of the altogether 39 estimated to be buried in the rubble are yet to be accounted for, the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry said in an update.
Preliminary information showed that a whole unit of the five-storey residential structure, comprising about 10 flats, fell apart in the blast, according to the ministry.
Firefighters had rushed to the site for search and rescue operations after being alerted at 04:20 a.m. Moscow time (0120 GMT).
The explosion did not trigger any big fire, but authorities cautioned that they could not rule out the possibility of further collapse of the building.
Mi-8 and Ka-32 helicopters have been dispatched from Moscow to Yaroslavl, the administrative center of Yaroslavl Oblast and located about 250 km northeast of the federal capital, to assist the search and rescue efforts.
